Abstract: Optical sensing systems and methods for detecting target characteristics are disclosed. An optical sensing system can detect target motion within a known environment. A laser source, such as a vertical cavity surface emitting laser, has at least two laser signal emission apertures. At least one detector is operationally responsive to laser signals. A motion analysis module cooperates with a microprocessor to determine motion characteristics of an objected detected within said environment. A laser source emits at least two laser signals into an environment occupied by a target, said at least one detector detects changes in said at least two laser signals after said signals pass through said environment and interfere with a detected object, and said microprocessor determines target characteristics based on said signals received by said detector and input from said motion analysis module, at least one detector, which is operationally responsive to the laser source. The system can also include a microprocessor that is operationally coupled to the detector(s) for processing signal data, a memory accessible by the microprocessor for storing target characteristics (e.g., unique signals), and a software module accessible by the microprocessor for enabling system training and detection operations.

Abstract: A flexible pipe (1) for the transport of oil and gas at various depths of the sea has one or more pressure and tensile reinforcement layers (5, 6, 7, 8) which protect a carcass (3) positioned internally of the liner and surrounded by an inner liner (4). The pressure reinforcement layers (5, 6) are composed of solid elements in the usual manner, mutally interlocked and twisted on the flexible pipe at a relatively small pitch angle. Since the tensile reinforcement layers (7, 8) are arranged outermost on the flexible pipe, they are vulnerable to external impacts, such as blows or shocks that may damage the tensile reinforcement, if an outer jacket (9) is not provided around the flexible pipe. In order to minimize the consequences of externally applied impacts on the tensile reinforcement layers (7, 8), the tensile reinforcement elements of these layers are formed by filaments such as threads or wires which are woven, twisted, spun or entangled in each other. In connection with the mounting of the tensile reinforcement according to the invention, it may expediently be moulded on an end termination.

Abstract: Multi-channel audio signals are coded into a monaural audio signal and information allowing to recover the multi-channel audio signal from the monaural audio signal and the information. The information is generated by determining a first portion of the information for a first frequency region of the multi-channel audio signal, and by determining a second portion of the information for a second frequency region of the multi-channel audio signal. The second frequency region is a portion of the first frequency region and thus is a sub-range of the first frequency region. The information is multi-layered enabling a scaling of the decoding quality versus bit rate.

Abstract: A wireless communication device coupled to a wave antenna that provides greater increased durability and impedance matching. The wave antenna may be in the form of a polygonal, elliptical curve and/or coil shape. The wireless communication device is coupled to the wave antenna to provide wireless communication. The wireless communication device and wave antenna may be placed on objects, goods, or other articles of manufacture that are subject to forces such that the wave antenna may be stretched or compressed during the manufacture and/or use of such object, good or article of manufacture. The wave antenna, because of its curved structure, is capable of stretching and compressing more easily than other structures, reducing the wireless communication device's susceptibility to damage or breakage that might render the wireless communication device coupled to the wave antenna unable to properly communicate information wirelessly.
